I nuke frozen pizzas for lunch here at work, then roll them up into nummy pizza burritos.
But then, it's universally acknowledged that I have the culinary taste of a pathetic person.

And in general doing low fat cooking. I make all sorts of "stir fry" dishes in the microwave, either fat free or using only a teaspoon of fat per person. (Yes you can cook chicken dishes in the microwave from scratch without the chicken coming out tough. The secret is enough liquid and keeping the setting low enough).
Why bother?
Well as I said as low fat as you wanna be, plus you can cook entirely in dishwasher safe dishes. For meals from scratch time saving on actual cooking is not that great - but there have been times when knowing that after-dinner cleanup will be a breeze has made the difference between eating at home and going out.

Why did no one tell me that Nelly Furtado has been possessed by Pink, who is apparently now using her body to record Hall & Oates covers? [link]

Ah, but that presupposes having a dishwasher as well.
I am scared of your link, Matt.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Welcome, Airstream! Matt the Bruins Fan is also a Memphian. My parents and 3 of my sisters live in and around Memphis (I can't really claim it as my parents moved there after I graduated from high school and I only lived there a couple of years plus summers while in school).

I have a dishwasher! I use it as a drying rack. About once a year , I run it empty to clean out the dust that accumulates on the bottom. I've honestly never understood the angst of post-cooking cleaning. I mean, it is well documented in other people, but I just don't get it. I hate having dirty dishes around, I don't mind doing dishes, no big. Very often I'll be washing my cooking dishes out before I sit down to eat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
With only two people, a dishwasher wouldn't save us much time or effort anyway. (It's also explicitly forbidden by the terms of our lease, but that's a whole nother thing.)
My microwave is pretty much only used for defrosting things. The toaster oven gets much more use.
